Can anyone help please? I've got this memory of maybe a girl group or a musical or something where they've all got different coloured dresses in these different bright colours, all different colour combinations. I sound like I've lost the plot don't I! I thought maybe it was a girls allowed video but it's not. Any ideas please? It might be from the 80's.

@Freakingflies

It makes me think of one of the dresses in the original West Side Story, but I’m fairly certain that’s not the reference you’re looking for!
This is what I thought as well.

Can't seem to attach the picture but if you Google The Saturdays one of the first pics is in these colours

If a musical film / stage play could it have been Seven brides for seven brothers?

Is it Steps last thing on my mind? Or tragedy?

JacquelineCarlyle · 24/12/2021 21:22

It made me think of Girls Aloud too!

LostThePot · 24/12/2021 21:25

It reminded me of Clueless

MissClementine · 24/12/2021 21:25

George Michael - Too Funky video with the 90s supermodels?

WasgijGods · 24/12/2021 21:29

@Papertrail392

No, none of the above. Definitely a group, dancing, some of the colours we're green and yellow, all that same bright pop. Not the pink wind mill kids (loved that programme!).

I'm hoping that maybe when I stop trying so hard to think of it it'll come to me. Maybe if I sleep on it.

Thanks for all the ideas.

Saved by the Bell?

Wineandroses3 · 24/12/2021 21:30

Google girls aloud love machine

Trendytrousers · 24/12/2021 21:30

No it’s The Saturdays with UP when they had different coloured tights with dresses!

Mumsarockchick · 24/12/2021 21:32

That was my thought too

Jubilate · 24/12/2021 21:37

My original thought was the Girls Aloud Love Machine.

Not Many a New Day in Oklahoma? That's a floofy petticoat song/dance.

BusterGonad · 24/12/2021 21:39

I'm thinking 90s super models, Vasace, Linda Evangelista.

Mammyloveswine · 24/12/2021 21:39

Definitely girls aloud! I Had a knock off one from Leeds market

kwiksavenofrillsusername · 24/12/2021 21:40

I said Bootylicious earlier but the Say my Name video also has brightly coloured mix and match outfits.

3luckystars · 24/12/2021 21:40

Victoria Beckham loos so different! I forgot she ever looked like that.

frogswimming · 24/12/2021 21:41

I feel like I know the one you're talking about and it isn't any of these. The orange net and pink / purple dress over I rings a bell for me too and the different ice cream colour ball dresses. I think it's from a musical or one of those dance segments they used to have in programmes like 3, 2, 1.

3luckystars · 24/12/2021 21:43

If you cover her face then it might help to concentrate on the costume, I think it’s from the 70’s.

Old vintage rainbowbrite?
